Keds hostel

I travelled with my bicycle, but the hostel refused to let me park it inside overnight, even though there was clearly enough space in the corridor. I explained that it’s not safe to leave a bicycle outside in this city, even when it’s locked, but the staff just repeated that it’s “the rule.” They couldn’t give any reasonable explanation for it. A pointless rule and very poor attitude toward guests’ concerns. They preferred to follow a pointless rule rather than show basic common sense or consideration for their guests. Very frustrating and disappointing experience.

We booked a private room (7 sq m with shared bathroom) through booking.com. What we liked most about this hostel, was the friendly and helpful staff and the cool entrance hall/common space. It is always nice to receive freebies - they offered a welcome drink. The location was relatively good: the hostel is situated a couple of subway stations from the centre + 1.3 km walking (there was public transportation, too but we preferred to walk). What could be improved is investing a little in fans for the rooms (as said, the room was small but we could not keep the window open because our window opened to a very busy and noisy street). Also it should not be difficult and expensive to replace toilet seat covers in two toilets. All in all it was a good experience.

Staff useful, great capsule style cabin with powerpoint and lighting, clean rooms and bathroom as well. I would say maybe the location is not the best. Have a great experience anyway. Highly recommend the shared room with capsules for a good backpacking experience!

We stayed for a number of nights in private rooms. Found all of the staff immensely helpful and friendly, and many had very good english. Nicely furnished place with decent beds, sheets, towels, etc. At the time we visited (in late May), be aware that we had quite a problem with mosquitos so we had to buy repellents a few times during our stay. Also might be worth noting that the sound insulation isn't perfect between rooms, and you feel/hear the rumbling of trains at regular intervals during the day/night, but these things didn't cause us much of an issue. Breakfast isn't included, but you can buy some things from the hostel, or there are many nice (cheap!) places to eat nearby and in nearby Paveletskaya, and little supermarkets to buy things too (though no fridge available). Apart from the mosquitos, we had a very good stay!

We stayed here for 4 nights and it was great, the staff were all really friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and the beds were already made which was nice. The whole atmosphere was really welcoming and they did omelettes or porridge for 100rubles.

Moderate price for Moscow, beds are what they are supposed to be, therefore you will hear most of your neighbours because there's just a small curtain between your bed and an antechamber (yes, with lights on you can see through). If it doesn't sound like a problem, this might be your implementation of a cheap and good stay. Staff doesn't seem to obey their own rules, 3/4 nights we stayed there'd been some sort of noisy group of people sat in the lobby area and it felt as there wasn't any observation. Acceptable hot drinks and breakfast quality (scrambled eggs w/ bacon are most common), isolated lounge area with soft seats and personal lights.

Location, free luggage storage after check out. Can not ooen main door by myself, i must wait outside very long under snowfall for them to open main door everytime i go in hostel

Nice staff, cozy place, and they are always mopping so it's very clean. I really appreciated the complimentary latte, espresso or tea when we checked in😊☕
